ALBERT H. ENGLERTH, OF AMBLER, PENNSYLVANIA.

COAL-BAGGING MACHINE.

Application filed May 14, 1923. Serial No. 638,991.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that'I, ALBERT H. ENGLERTH, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ambler, in the county of Montgomery and State of Pennsylvania, have invented new and useful Improvements in Coal-Bagging Machines, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a coal bagging machine, the general object of the invention being to permit the machine to be adjusted to engage different parts of a coal pile without changing the position of the machine.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for screening the coal as it passes from the machine.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claim.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure 1 is a side view of the invention showing the same in use.

Figure 2 is a plan view.

The remaining figures are detail views.

In these views 1 indicates an upright frame which is supported upon the wheels 2 and which has secured to one side thereof adjacent the top a chute 3 which has its bottom formed with an opening which is covered by a screen 4. Legs 5 support the lower end of the chute. The conveyor frame 6 is pivotally connected with the upper part of the upright frame, as shown at 7 so that the said conveyor frame can be adjusted. The conveyor includes the drums 7 and the endless belt 8 which carries the buckets 9. The conveyor is actuated in any desired manner. A winch 10 is carried by the uprights 11 which are supported from the,

From the above it will be seen that by placing the end of the conveyor at the top of a coal pile, as shown in Figure 1 in dotted lines, the coal can be taken from this part of the pile and as the pile becomes smaller the conveyor is lowered so that a large amount of coal can be taken from the pile Without moving the apparatus. This machine does away with a man on the pile to shovel coal to the conveyor as well as eliminating the necessity of frequently moving the machine.

Vhile the machine is especially designed for bagging coal it will of course be understood that it can be used for hauling sand, gravel, crushed stone or any bulk material.

,It may be used for loading material into wagons or trucks by placing the chute high enough to extend into the vehicle body. In such cases the screen would not be used as the bottom of the chute would be solid.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claim.

What I claim is A coal bagging machine, comprising an upright frame, a horizontally arranged extension frame at the top thereof, wheels on the bottom of the upright frame, an inclined chute having its upper end connected with the upper end of the upright frame, legs on the chute which, with the upright frame, supports the apparatus in upright position, a conveyor frame, drums carried by the same, a bucket carrying member passing over the drums, the pintles of the upper drum having bearings in the top part of the upright frame and pivotally connecting the conveyor frame with said upright frame, pulleys on the extension frame, uprights on the chute, a winch carried thereby, a cable connected with the winch and passing over the pulleys and a yoke on the conveyor frame to which the other end of the cable is connected.

In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.

ALBERT H. ENGLERTH.
